OK, play nice.
Put a trade idea in here, but if those reading it don't like it, play the ball, not the man & counter, rather than attack.
Here goes:
3 way trade involving Freo, Carlton & the Dees.
Freo give first pick 2020 + Andrew Brayshaw away and receive Paddy Cripps.
Melbourne give Angus Brayshaw away and receive Freo's first pick.
Carlton give Paddy Cripps away and receive Angus & Andrew Brayshaw.
Reasoning: Angus is the Joel Selwood of the Brayshaws' in my opinion, in that he is by far the most talented of the brothers. I know my Freo brethren think I undervalue Andrew & I agree with them to an extent, but that is something I'll get to with them. For mine, Angus is quality, but is going nowhere with the Dees & needs a change of scenery. Ergo Melbourne could afford to let him go & getting a first round draft pick would excite, particularly after trading out theirs last year.
Freo would be getting a bona fide star, I mean Cripps is in the best 5 players in the comp in my opinion, but he is struggling a bit this year. Pair him with Fyfe & you have the 2 best clearance beasts in the comp. What's not to like about that? Sure, there are WA key position talents available in the first round, but if you could get Cripps & Fyfe in the same team. That is the stuff of USA Dream Team quality midfield going on!
OK, the hard sell is Carlton. Why give away their best player, young captain, superstar? Isn't he a free agent soon? He doesn't strike me as someone who would do the dirty on a club & if this weren't to go through, he could become Carlton's greatest ever captain, sorry Big Nick, or is it Sticks? OK, let's look at this year. The Blues have gotten better, but their main man has not been as good as last year???? So that means the rest of the team is taking up the slack. Now replace that one superstar with 2 best 22 mids who get the ball as much as him, generally speaking.
I don't know.
I wear purple shaded glasses of course.
I'd like to hear counter offers, or even better an acceptance from supporters of each team.
